Could something be done about the way the list of MIDI instrument names is presented?

[Petr Pařízek]

Hi all,

this list of MIDI instrument names would deserve some reformatting or 
even rewriting.
I'm saying this as someone who has never read this before.
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.23/Documentation/notation/midi-instruments

The following things are all true at the same time, which makes the list 
hard to navigate with screen-reading software (i.e. when I can't see the 
screen):
- the items are arranged vertically rather than horizontally,
- the table is stored as continuous text rather than a proper HTML table,
- there's no information about which instrument name corresponds to 
which program number.

- Now suppose I want to find out what instrument name is used for the 
MIDI program number 82 in the listings that go from 1 to 128 (or 81 in 
those that go from 0 to 127).
- Or suppose I'd like to know the program number corresponding to te 
MIDI instrument called "flute".

- If the items were either arranged horizontally or if they were stored 
in a proper table (or both), then the program number would be easy to 
figure out because:
1) if the items were stored in a proper table, I could use keystrokes 
for moving up and down rather than left or right, so that I could 
calculate the program number by first finding out how long one column is 
and then calculating how many times I should multiply this number to get 
as close as possible to the desired program number.
2) if they were arranged horizontally, I could still do it even without 
proper tables, assuming that each line always contains the same number 
of items, so that I could count how many lines I have to go up or down 
to find the particular program number.

- Obviously, the absolutely best case would be if the items were 
arranged horizontally, at the same time they would be presented as a 
proper table, and at the same time the program numbers would be included 
as well.

Thoughts?


Thanks.
